DISCOVER ONE OF CAYMAN’S AMAZING TREASURES

div-3

Strange as it may seem, there is really a place called “Hell” in Cayman’s paradise.

Located in the district of West Bay on Grand Cayman, Hell is a unique natural wonder of rugged blackened limestone outcropping. The jagged formations are a result of millions of years of geological evolution, due to acid rain and consumption of the rock by carbonate-loving organisms. This erosion has left an eerie and desolate looking landscape earning this location its highly appropriate name. The rocks are estimated to be 10 to 15 million years old.

Visitors have been flocking here for decades, for bragging rights that they have “been to Hell and back” or have simply taken someone’s advice to “go to Hell!”

Naturally, the ‘Devil’ roams at Hell and no visit is complete without a photo taken with him, you may also catch a glimpse of an “Angel” while on site.

A postcard dispatched from Hell Post Office is also a good way to share a memorable visit to this site.

Hell is located on lands owned by the Cayman Islands Government, as well as on adjoining areas, which are privately owned and offers a similar experience.

    As I was told, the first British who... read more came around said when they look to those rugged rocks: this place looks like hell or this place must be how hell looks like...
    There’s also a post office to send postcards from hell and two shops selling tees making fun of the fact...go there and buy stuff as hell...

So this time we were in Cayman in Dec. 2018 and I stopped by the market to get that cross. I was greeted by the most friendly and awesome person named Rosemary. She truly made me fee so special and told me stories about the island and her culture. She shared such a touching story bout one of the items she made with a nativity scene and how the little donkey was so special to her when she was little. I talked with her for an hour enjoying every moment of her stories. In the end she was so thankful I listened with a caring ear and she gave me two of those nativities for each of my children, whom will keep those forever. I wanted to reach out to thank her for her kindness and sharing such wonderful stories and memories about her family. I highly recommend stopping by. There are so many beautiful items for sale.

    We loved it. Good pictures of very odd rock formations. We loved the gift shop all painted in blood red.... read more It was really cool. When we walked in the first thing we saw was an elderly gentleman, maybe in his late 80s in a devil's outfit who said, welcome to hell. We started looking around and the little devil said what the hell are you looking to buy. Then a voice from the back said what the hell can I do for you. It went on for awhile. We couldn't help ourselves, we had to get pictures with the devil and send postcards to family back home as well as buy a shirt.

  • star rating  I'd heard about this place and had to visit. While on a cruise, we booked an island tour that included a visit to Hell. It was great!!!... read more The rock formation, apparently limestone, was amazing. I'd never seen anything like it in my life and there was a devil statue in the middle of the rocks. It almost looked like lava from a volcano. The gift shop was really cute and the staff all used the word hell in every sentence; it was hilarious. I purchased several tee shirts and post cards. Can't wait to receive my post cards with a post mark from hell.

    Thanks for the ease of transport.

Our Driver was Jaime... read more and he was very entertaining telling us much about the grand Caymans as we went through the town. I personally enjoyed visiting hell it was fun experience and a chance to say we had been there. We got our passport stamped. Got a few postcards and some shirts and visited the rock formations we even took pictures. w did get delayed in Hell for while as one of the people on our tour went missing. Turns out she got on the wrong bus as there were three in our tour going the same places. But our tour guide and the people who own the shop were very attentive and helpful in trying to find her and doing everything they could to help.

  • star rating  I was a little disappointed as the pics are great. However, it's really a small market, but the locals who are there are very friendly and great to chat... read more with. I expected more handmade stuff, but not as much as I thought. I did buy some prints. I hate when you see the original artwork but then are sold a print. I went ahead and bought some, but would rather have originals. You might find a cheap shirt or bracelet. If room allows the there's a lady who handweaves baskets and purses. I didnt have room as I'm doing a carry on only, but she's worth a look at. It sits on the corner across from the water down past Kirk Freeport and Atlantis office. It's just one big tent with about 12-15 vendors. Maybe it's bigger during high season? IDK. Anyway if time permits go there. If not the shopping boutiques in the port area aren't badly priced anyway.

    star rating  Everything I'd read about Grand Cayman said Hell was a not-to-be-missed attraction. But I found it to be completely underwhelming. Walk among unique rock formations, they said. But you're limited... read more to a boardwalk on the edge that limits you to one small section of the place. There was so much more to see - but only from a distance, meaning the rocks kinda blur together. The post office makes for a fun photo op, but nothing more if you don't send a postcard. We were there about ten minutes. Is it unique? Sure. Is it worth a stop? Meh - maybe. I'll give it 3 out of 5 for quirkiness, but this trip to Hell was anything but memorable.

Jermaine had a lot of interesting facts & said they will be expanding. Would definitely go again once they add more caves and ATV.

    star rating  My family went to this Craft Market to get some souvenirs for friends and family back at home.

    I usually expect local vendors to be very aggressive... read more and pushy to make their sale but this place was completely different. Very laid back and allowed us to browse around without any pressure of buying something from them.

    When we found stuffs we wanted to buy, the vendors were extremely friendly and helpful. Especially Rosemary. The pricing was fair compare to other places selling similar stuff yet when we decided to buy a bunch, Rosemary took care of us.

    Highly recommend this place to shop for souvenirs.

  • star rating  My husband and I took the $50 “best of cayman “ tour. The stops : Rum Cake Outlet (a tourist trap to buy cake and run that you can get... read more ANYWHERE), Governers Mansion (a drive by blink of eye - pointless ) Hell( this was an ok stop- sent postcards to sons), “Cayman house” (another drive by a house on Main Street completely pointless) and the turtle farm. The turtle farm is great but do not go with this tour! We stayed 45 minutes and could have enjoyed 3 + hours there. This tour provides very limited access, so we could not see the lagoon or the predators. Go on your own and spend an afternoon snorkeling with the turtles. Go across the street and play with the dolphins. Dolphins were not an option on this tour. You can get around easy on bus system and enjoy all this much better without the tour. Our driver Wilmot provided very limited information, could not answer either of my two questions, and told us way too many times to go on trip advisor and give him five stars. We do not recommend this tour. Attached is a picture of Hell. More

    The black limestone "hellish" rocks in the back do look other worldly. There was a gentleman out there to explain how it formed. An empty club behind the post office was opened by Bob Marley!

    Bring your passport to get a "Hell" stamp in it. I had to settle for buying some amusing postcards that they stamped and marked from Hell.
